For some reason (even though MBV is in Arizona) my shipment came form North Carolina... I have no idea why. Also it came FedEx and MBV website only mentions USPS and UPS... sounds odd to me! Don't really are... it was cheap.
they have locations in like a dozen or so states.

    I do mostly DIY anyway... just did this for fun (to try some new flavors I was curious about)
    If nothing else, these bottles came out to 10 cents each (and I needed extra bottles for my DIY anyway) Even if I dump some I end up with extra bottles ;) For some reason (even though MBV is in Arizona) my shipment came form North Carolina...

    MBV moved to NC.

    I was just wondering, because of those prices.

    Under Three Bucks for a current tank is kinda nuts.

    I agree. Also, in their regular categories for Tanks, Mods, etc...most things IN them were in their 90% off Clearance Sale. When I looked last week...there were only 2-5 higher priced items in each section, along with the Clearance items being shown in there, too. Seemed kind of odd, to me, for them to have so few regular priced items left on their site...hardware-wise.

    If I'm remembering correctly, years ago all they sold was juice. Maybe they're going back to their roots. Or just trying to cut down on their inventory before May.

    Naw... I bet they don't want to ship all of their hardware to NC. So it is easier and cheaper to just sell off the stock in AZ.

    I think they may be buying closeouts from other vendors... Some of the descriptions of products seem to be copied and pasted from other vendors, even saying the vendors name... Like one description says something like "Rock Bottom Vapes is your source for <product name and description>".

    That and they have shops in about a dozen states and they may be pooling product that they are trying to liquidate. i.e. their old or overstocked inventory that has already paid for itself but was not moving any more.

    I saw Noisy Crickets today for $2. I think it was Kanger Wholesale. I have little interest in mechs (thinking about a single for stash though), and even less in 2 battery mods, so I didn't get one.
    Yeah the Kanger wholesale site definitely does have them for $2 right now :) but as far as I can tell they only offer priority shipping they do have quite a few nice things on there but so does Wet Vapes

    I received the other four cascade tanks from MBV yesterday. What a deal! I don't know that I'll use the included coils but am running a gt ccell coil on one and it's really good with the adapter. I wonder if I could put an rba deck in there?

    I definitely saw that on EjuiceSteals, and even posted about it in this thread...but I didn't see it on MBV.

    Well, this stinks! I just checked EjuiceSteals for something else, and noticed that coils I paid $.99/box for yesterday...are now $.25/box.;) Other things have dropped in price, too.

    Best and cheapest is a coil of wire, some Sally's cellucotton, and a rebuildable atty. I was looking through my atty box the today reminiscing about the days when I bought factory coils. I've been vaping on rebuildables for years now and it's definitely cheaper. My roll of SS316L is starting to get low after 2 or 3 years rewinding coils for Kayfuns. 100' roll of 28ga SS316 is about $8 from Amazon.

    I think many people don't get into rebuildables because they think it's harder than it is.

    It sounds hard, but it's just a matter of cutting, winding, and screwing the coil down in place. The hard part is making an efficient wick. There's only a short period of experimenting until you find out what works best. Too tight or too loose and you get a bad vape. Just right works fine.

    I learned the ins and outs from watching PBusardo. He's a pretty good online teacher.

    I ran across a partially used box of coils for my old Kanger Aero Tank today. I might just screw one in and juice it up to compare and reminisce about my early vaping years. :)
